Now that I have loads of pods in my cycling tank, I`d like to keep the
population going. What do they eat?



Fitoplankton (green water).
You can buy it from many sources.

I guess once I get predatory fish in there, I`m gonna see a lot less
pods.
Is there something I can do now within the tank itself--(IE: NOT separate
tanks,refugiums etc)) that will help ensure a constant population of
these
animals?



You could design in-tank refugium with a pile of rubble
so the pods will have a room to hide from the fish...
But it is much less effective than a separate refugium tank.



Its Phytoplankton.

ON the intank fuge, you could build a couple of small boxes out of mesh
and hide them in the rocks. This way the fish can not get into the mesh
to eat the pods inside the box but the pods can get out very easly.
